They treat you well, (X-Men 1 and 2) and then they show their true colors (X3 and Wolverine: Origins), then they promise that they can change (X-Men: First Class and The Wolverine), now you see them with a prostitute. (X-Men: DOTFP)

I think the goblin shark is totally unoriginal and copied his schtick from Xenomorphs.

But seriously: what the hell is up with all the teeth on deep sea fishes? Every last one of those little (or big...or kaiju-rific....) monsters has more teeth than seems even remotely biologically necessary....

Well, the obvious answer would be that it helps them to capture highly mobile prey. I'd bet money that virtually all of the deep-sea fishes with this particular morphology specialize in eating other fishes. There's probably some particular challenge associated with the deep-sea environment that makes that form highly advantageous. These don't tend to be energy-rich ecosystems, so it may be that large prey is hard to come by. This speculation is supported by the fact that many of these species are capable of eating and digesting very large prey...at least one species is capable of eating prey even larger than itself (see: gulper eel).

I got thrown out of a window! What's the f***ing charge for getting pushed out of a moving car, huh? Jaywalking?

My father gave me one piece of advice. He said "Always. .." No, he said "Never..." well actually he gave me two pieces of advice, I've forgotten the other one. But the important one is, "Never chase a man over a cliff".

All the more reason for humanity to never, ever, ever, ever try to explore the ocean depths.
